Topic: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? - page 4. (Read 1985 times)

I am not a gambler but I think I can still give you a good advice. It's really a good idea and I would say, it's necessary, to record your financial activities. You have to know how much money you deposit to gamble and how much you get back. If you track that, it will help you to understand whether your gambling turns into addiction or not because sometimes you really gamble for fun and start with that idea and you don't realize that you deposit more, gamble more, get back less and that's where the addiction starts. So, yeah, you should really keep records. Whether you are a bad gambler or good one, that has nothing to do with it.

If gamblers keeps recored then their gambling will be under control and they will use money which will be limited but if they don't keep record then there is a probability that they will be addicted to gambling. Without keeping record you cannot realize your win or loss percentage and if you loss for five times and win for just one time then you will be happy for a single win but will not realize that five times loss are more and single win is unable to cover this loss.

I think that if everyone keeps record of their gambling then a day will come when they will not be more a participant of gambling because all individuals has Loss percentage more than win percentage. Lossing money is the primary concern but later gambler start to sell every thing in order to get money therefore try to keep record or completely move away from it.

You will find out soon that keeping such records will be a headache to you.
Not only because of seeing those losses, but the activity itself will drain your energy as it is additional task.
So for me, this task is not sustainable. It is better to just allocate money for your betting activities, that you think you won't have qualms losing.

Right, as I said in the previous post. in fact, it doesn't matter if one records gambling statistics. Likewise, we don't even think about doing it. After all, it's all about habits, even if someone does it, they have a basis for various reasons. Perhaps, some gamblers want to know statistics, determine and manage their gambling expenses by recording them. and there is nothing wrong with that, in fact I praise those who do it in general, regardless of their motivation or scenario.

For me, just like you do. we are too lazy to do it, don't even think we will do it. the point is, it's nothing but looking for fun in this quite expensive and risky entertainment. I mean why do I call it expensive, because to play it we need funds and as a medium for conducting game sessions. Plus, be ready for the risks involved. Overall, we agree with what you said. In essence, play responsibly and recognize the risks. Also, whatever it is, we are fully aware of what we are doing.

Looking at our gambling history from the features available on our gambling account is actually enough for us to know how much money we have deposited and withdrawn, and that can also be a strong reason for us to reduce our gambling activities, especially if we deposit more than we withdraw the money. That way, we can also reduce the amount of money we deposit because we don't want to experience more losses. A person can become increasingly eager to gamble when he cannot accept his losses and will try to deposit more money because he can gamble longer and he thinks that he will have a better chance of winning, even though that is not true. He will have a chance of winning, but his chances of losing will be greater than his chances of winning.

However, if we have experienced losses while gambling, we must be aware of it and try to reduce our gambling activities. Don't let us end up spending all our money and not being able to meet our daily needs because there are gamblers who experience this. If we have lost, we have to stop gambling because it will be difficult for us to recover the loss.

Stopping addiction is something that gamblers must do because if they don't, they will only make their gambling addiction worse. In fact, it will be difficult for them to cure their gambling addiction even though many people have helped them. Without his own desire to recover, he will find it difficult to cure his gambling addiction, and other people who provide encouragement and support will not be very meaningful. If he can realize by looking at his gambling records that he has spent a lot of money, he should be able to realize that he needs to reset his mindset about gambling so that he will start reducing his gambling activities.

In fact, in many places they say that we should keep records of all our bets so that we can redeem them in the future to review successes and losses and thus learn from mistakes.

However, I don't think this is efficient for the sport I bet on....
In football, each game is unique, there is no way to find a pattern in the games or something that can be analyzed!

I find it interesting that at the end of each game the bettor evaluates his bet and what happened during the game, if he lost, see why he made a mistake... if it is because the game had an unforeseen result or event, or if there really was a fails to predict the best outcome.
Now that's an analysis that could make sense. But keeping records of several games and bets, in my opinion, is not advantageous in football.

Yeah, I think that is always a healthy thing to do. Stopping your addiction for a bit, or maybe more than a bit, to let your brain reconfigure itself and approach it again with a fresh perspective.

In that way the gambler will be able to continue, or not, in a more reasonable manner.

Yes, maybe one of the reasons is like what you said, although it won't be entirely true either. But on the other hand I quite agree with your assumption, because it is quite easy if they want to see how much they have lost and how much they have won through one of the features in their gambling account. And for the problem of whether the record will be able to have a good or bad impact, in my opinion it is also difficult to predict, I have a friend who when he loses he gets even more emotional and even crazier because he doesn't accept the defeat that always happens at the end of the session and after that he even plays again with a bigger amount, well in my opinion that is one of the reasons and choices that they might choose when they find out that the number of losses is very much compared to wins, but yes I also said it depends on the judges themselves, some can realize and reduce it and on the other hand there are also those who are getting crazy in their involvement.

Yes indeed the best, if it turns out that their losses look more than wins then it is better to look for some measures  for prevention such as for examplee reducing the amount of the budget so that the amount of loss is not getting bigger if it ends up losing again. And yes anyway on the other hand there is no guarantee  whatsoever to win, therefore in my opinion it is indeed the best way that can be done.

Stopping gambling for a while can allow them to do other things that are more useful besides just gambling. They can improve their mindset and perhaps close their gambling records so that when they return to gambling periodically in the future, they will not need their gambling records because they will not use gambling as a way to make money but just as entertainment. They can differentiate between gambling as entertainment that uses money and other things that are entertainment that do not require money. By stopping gambling and doing other things, at least their minds will not think about gambling, and that is useful for reducing their gambling addiction slowly.

Yeah, and maybe after waiting for that long time they might not want to go back to gambling again.

The mind works in great ways, and it adapts to whatever you are doing, so if you don't do something for a long time, you adapt and stop craving for it.

That's because they have their own reasons for having a gambling record or whether they don't need it. Moreover, they can see their gambling records from their gambling accounts so that it can be a benchmark for how much money they spend on gambling. If they realize that they are using too much of their money, they should start reducing their gambling activities or reducing the amount of bets. But what exists is that there are still many gamblers who do not pay attention to this and instead try to increase the number of bets.

If it becomes too much, they should reduce their gambling, lest they experience problems that could have serious consequences. If they have good self-control, they can ignore this, especially if they have found pleasure in gambling.

Yes, that's true, especially if they lose very often. They will become frustrated when they see their losing numbers, and they tend to try to recover their losses by continuing to gamble. It might be better if they stop their gambling activities for some time and reset everything so they can start all over again. But this time, they must be truly disciplined in managing their time and money and must have better self-control. Yes, they can handle their losses well and not lose control of themselves after seeing the many losses they experienced.

I think the main reason most people don't keep records, or they stop keeping records, is that most of the gamblers end up losing. So, who wants to keep track of a negative number getting lower and lower?

It's easier to just reset the whole thing and "start fresh" and see how well you will do this time.

That's what most gamblers winning stories are really. They conveniently forget about their previous losses 

Quite agree but I wouldn't say that's entirely true, because on the other hand there are still some gamblers who don't really think about their gambling records even though it's very important so that they can know or just measure the extent of their gambling involvement or how much they have lost. Yes having full responsibility for the gambling that we do would be a better thing, because if you are a responsible gambler then I think you also have some precautions that will be applied to your gambling, such as knowing when to come and when to leave, and also in terms of budget usually those who are responsible will prefer to put a small budget because that is the only budget they can accept especially if the final result turns out to be a loss. On the other hand, it is indeed a good action so that we can avoid gambling addiction a little.

True, the purpose of them looking at their gambling records is nothing but to see how much they have lost and won, and I think there are two actions they will take when they see the records, some are getting more excessive because they want to return all their losses and some are getting better because they don't want to lose more. So I think they also know what's best for themselves.

Every gambler will know how important gambling records are for them, so they will make gambling records or not make them. But we agree that we must practice responsible gambling, especially as we already know that many people lose self-control when gambling, so this must be our main concern to prevent ourselves from experiencing a loss of self-control too.

Perhaps those who record their gambling want to know how much they gambled and how much money they used. But as time goes by, they may not continue to keep a gambling record because they feel there is a burden behind the gambling record when they see that the number of losses is greater than the number of wins. But if they can use their gambling records well, they can be used as material for their consideration and evaluation to be more responsible when gambling.

There are two sides to this issue: the responsibility each person has and the larger social context in which gambling occurs.

In the first place, gambling, like all high-reward activities, appeals to our basic need for quick pleasure. This appeal has only grown thanks to online platforms that make it easy to access and often hide the real effects. A very important question is whether someone is having positive or negative effects. Is it, however, just subjective? Some might say it depends on real things like financial health, while others might say it depends on mental health. These don't contradict each other, which is what makes things complicated.

Prevention is very important. But how does one develop that judgement in a world full of temptations? Even though personal choice and duty are important, we shouldnt ignore the effects of the environment and the pressures of society. If I understand you correctly, what you're really saying is the age-old search for balance. The constant tug-of-war between desire and reason, where short-term pleasure is weighed against long-term security. Making smart choices isn't just a way to show you have self-control; its also a way to protect yourself.

Well, everyone has their own way of thinking and that is respectable. When we do different types of activities, we can say that they can happen, but what happens if we are not up to the task of doing them well? in a caisno when we play roulette or anything, well we have to give our best, because basically what we can do is play slots, roulette, anything that is a game well yes, but when we are Thinking about what they can do when they are in front of a slot with little money is that it can be multiplied a lot and that is something that many people here in the forum are looking for, the truth is I don't understand how they can do it, but there are some who always look to get there and don't. They can, because the slot system is quite strong, and I think that when it has to do with setting things up to win it is mere luck, because everything has to do with chasing profits, so it is something that the maurpipa look for.

Now when it comes to sports betting, but it is something else, there is no way that greater prospects can be generated to have greater comfort, I am someone who sees sports betting and trading almost on the same page, but why? ? because basically in the latency things have to be done thinking, every move that is made is because it has been carefully studied, be it by technical analysis, by functional analysis or whatever, in sports betting there is a lot of responsibility for the fact of having been in an environment of knowing the sport well, in knowing how to do things better based on knowledge, then that is where the secret of this is, when we win money in sports betting by applying our knowledge it is when we demonstrate that things They tend to be done well because money is won by what you know, not by what you do, because anyone can make a bet, but knowing what the bet is is what you should bet to win.

For someone that is just gambling for fun this is not really a problem as you know very well where are your limits and you can stop gambling at any moment, but for those that have plans to attempt to become professional gamblers this is a must, and this is because just a few weeks down the line you will forget about most of the details that led you to take a bet, but if you take records and even write down the reason why you took the bet then you can evaluate yourself and correct any mistakes you may have made at the time.

Yes as I said above gambling will indeed have a huge impact on a person's life especially in terms of their finances, and of course as you said that who will know whether they are experiencing good or bad impacts it depends on what they feel during their gambling involvement, if indeed they feel that they are experiencing a lot of financial difficulties when they are involved in gambling then they should think about stopping or just reducing it. I understand that it is quite difficult but time will tell if they try various actions to realize their dream of quitting, and if they have no problems at all, of course it is up to them whether they will continue their involvement or quit. Ultimately it's up to them, and I think they can make an informed judgment about what to do there, because obviously other people are never going to care about the difficulties they face.

In any case, whether in gambling or in your real life prevention will always be the best thing to do, I'm sure they know about what to do, so when this gambling is very bad and causes a lot of problems then they must take some preventive actions to minimize all unexpected possibilities that are not wanted. Understanding what they are doing before finally jumping in is the main thing, and realizing what the positive and negative impacts of these activities are also very important, if the negative impact is far greater than the positive then obviously I think there is no reason for anyone not to take precautions against it, because there is no way if he does not know what is best for himself. And also yes you have to be responsible for whatever you have done, so look at it from various sides first, consider before you make a decision.

However, someone who has started gambling but does not have self-control can fall deeper into gambling and they will experience the bad effects that are greater than the good effects. But maybe they won't see the bad effects getting bigger because they have fun gambling and gamble more often because of the fun factor they get. In gambling, if they cannot take care of themselves, they will experience the bad effects of gambling and when it gets bigger, it is only a matter of time until they finally experience bigger losses. The risk of losing money will also be greater than they imagine because more losses will make them lose more money.

They should be able to realize it before it's too late so they can start reducing their gambling activities because otherwise, it will get bigger. They will be too late to reduce their gambling activities because they will get deeper into gambling. It is better to prevent it before it happens than to treat it, which will be much more difficult because our thoughts will be difficult to change, especially if we are already addicted to gambling. It will require even harder efforts to make us realize that we have made a fatal mistake in this life.

Gambling has a big effect on people, and only those people can really say how it has changed their lives. Lucky numbers are involved, and the stakes are very high. Their actions will determine whether the effect is good or bad. If they take the risks and bad effects too seriously or spend too much, they can be too much to handle. But the risks can be kept to a minimum if they are careful

A timeless truth that applies to all parts of life, not just gaming, is that prevention is better than cure. You need to be smart, careful, and aware of when to back off. To play safely, you need to understand the game and be aware of the risks. Being in charge, taking responsibility, and making smart choices are important. Finding a balance and making sure the effect is more positive than bad is important. Only they can really do it; it's a delicate dance and a careful balancing act. So, yes, everything will be fair, but it depends on what they want and how they see things
